This mini printer can turn your Instagrams into physical photos in under 2 minutes — here's how it works

Although most of us have taken more photos in the past month than our parents did during their childhood, they either stay on our phones or social media sites.
Having physical copies of your pictures for sentimental or aesthetic reasons is nice, but a nice photo printer can take up a lot of space and get expensive.
Kodak recently sent Insider Picks its Dock & WiFi Printer to try, and it makes the process a lot easier.
The printer is small and wireless (you can also dock your phone directly into it), which eliminates the space concerns, and the only problems I had with it came down to using its difficult-to-navigate companion app. Once I got the hang of that, I found the process of printing pretty painless.
I've gone into more depth below, giving you an overview of the hardware and showing you how to get from a photo on your phone to a picture in your hand.
You can buy the Kodak Dock & Wi-Fi 4x6" Photo Printer on Amazon for $139.99 here.
The printer itself is very small, with a dock for your phone (iPhone or Android) on top, a USB port for printing from a flash drive on its side, and a power button on top.
When you're ready to print, you'll have to insert an attachment that feeds the printer paper. It can be stored elsewhere when not in use, but the printer still doesn't take up too much space when it's all set up.
Although you can connect to the printer wirelessly and print photos from the Kodak app or through your phone's built-in print mode, the dock is a lot quicker. I tested both methods, and you won't have any problems going WiFi-only.
